Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

Had exactly the same reaction to this story. Wth is H doing going after these women
Were I the head of an organization linked in several different ways to the most horrifying sexual abuse story in recent memory my sole aim would be to avoid a headline that includes the idea that I am "secretly investigating" the people who help expose it.
Harvard officials are reportedly secretly investigating two students for their roles in drawing scrutiny to the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and ex-president Larry Summers

Not to go down this week's particular rabbit hole very deeply, but as a guy who was *in fact hiring Hollywood writers* between 2011 and 2018, four staffs in total, it seems a lot of smart commenters are missing I did not diversify my rooms to be woke, I diversified my rooms to have better rooms.

The Iraq War was a tragic mistake, but nobody was surprised that the US military took Baghdad in less than a month, even though Iraq is half a world away from the US. Meanwhile, Russia can’t get halfway across a country on its border. Losers.
To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:
Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.
Not a soul would call that “winning.”

Zelensky *cannot* withdraw his troops and cede territory. His army won't do it. The public won't accept it.
🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine's key "red line" in negotiations with the US is the withdrawal of troops from Donbas, - Bild.
Zelenskyy is ready to discuss abandoning NATO membership, holding elections on a shortened timeline, and freezing the frontline.

Do you think maybe it was the condescension and dismissiveness of “dicking around”?
okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

I only met him once, when he hosted a book party for a friend. He and Michele were so wonderful & gracious in welcoming everyone into their home. A lovely person and a towering figure in social justice and Democratic politics. This is a great loss for the creative community and small-d democracy
Rob Reiner was funny and gregarious, just like you’d expect. Michele Reiner always insisted on one conversation at a time around a dinner table so everyone could participate. Such a tragedy. All my sympathy to their family.
